Hey Doba, what is Ichi the Killer? I have seen it in the video store many times but never checked it out.

Also, I really like your avatar dreamscape_101.

Thanx.

What about Harry potter? I noticed no one listed his films. I thought they were great. :smile:

Hehe yeah… Harry Potter 1st and 2nd were great, but 3rd movie was DISAPPOINTING! :sad: Oh well hopefully when 4th one comes out… it would be much better than 3rd one.

American Beauty, Life of Brian, Pulp Fiction and of cause all the weird ones (Memento, Virtual Nightmare, Dark City, Fight Club…)

To mention some nice german movies:

Knocking on heavens door
Lola rennt (Lola run)
Das Experiment (The experiment)
Das weisse Rauschen

In my opinion all of those four are highly recommendable.
First one is beautiful and funny, second is weird and funny, third is interesting and disturbing, last is interesting and weird and disturbing

Oh yes Lola Rennt is definitely weird but it’s a really great movie!! Excellent camera work btw :smile:

Tapir: are you going to watch Der Untergang? You know, that controversial movie about Hitler’s last hours. I’d like to see it, but I’m not sure if it’s ever going to be released here…

It’s uhm… disturbing?
imdb.com/title/tt0296042/

some people hate it, some people dig it, and some just doesn’t get it.

I’m not much of a movie watcher, and it’s hard to think of 10. I’ll edit more in here as I remember some.

Here are a few:

-> The Wizard of Oz
-> The Color Purple
-> The Goonies
-> The Time Machine <- the original, I have not seen the 2002 version.

Everyone should just watch Donnie Darko. I have not met anyone that doesn’t like that movie. Notice everyone that has it on their list has it as their #1 or #2.

1: Waking Life.
2: American Beauty.
3: Donnie Darko.
4: Cradle Of Fear.
5: AVP.
6: Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas.
7: Requiem For A Dream.
8: Clerks. (The animated one).
9: Ghost In The Shell.
10: Kill Bill (One & two).

I think you’d find a great many people who didn’t like Donnie Darko. It just really depends on who you’re talking to.
